Lethal Code

Cyber-thrillers are the best! Death and destruction via machine. You'll never look at your computer the same way again. Your smart phone will start to look smart... and devious. It's amazing how crippled we would become if the lights simply refused to turn on again.

Throw in some terrorists ready to claim our country as their own and you have a fast-paced, edge of your seat read here.

Book Description:
America’s worst nightmare has come true: a
“cyber–Pearl Harbor” attack by unknown terrorists has crippled the
nation’s power grid—and brought the land of the free to its knees. As
widespread panic and violence ravage the country, its ruthless captors
issue their ultimatums…and vow an apocalyptic reckoning.

A
defenseless nation scrambles to fight an invisible invasion. Chief among
America’s last line of defense is Lana Elkins, head of a major
cyber-security company—and former top NSA operative—who returns to her
roots to spearhead the Agency’s frantic efforts to combat the enemy’s
onslaught on its own terms. While she and her superiors take action to
infiltrate a terrorist hotbed overseas, much closer to home ruthless
jihadists with a nuclear bomb hijack a busload of
schoolchildren—including Lana’s daughter—and race toward a rendezvous
with Armageddon in America’s greatest city.

With Lethal Code,
Thomas Waite raises the international techno-thriller to dangerously
exciting levels—introducing a valiant new action heroine, and initiating
a series that brings a harrowing new edge of realism to sensational
speculative fiction.

Pat Conroy just told me that I take a foul art and give it a queenly air, then he kissed my hand.
